    Rhetorical Server Performance Question.

    Setting up 2 servers and deciding which way to go for the MoBo and CPU's.
    --
    (Use is actually irrelivant to my question but I know someone is going to ask so here it is....)
    --
    Server 1 will be a Linux Terminal Server and Basic File Server.
    [Probably supporting a max of 5-6 terminals at a time.]
    Server 2 will be a Virtual Web Server. [Internet simulator.]

    ~~~~~~

    I haven't done much with dual CPU systems since CPU's were at 550 MHz.
    -
    I'm asking this question to those of you with more recent experience.

    ~~~~~~

    The actual question:

    As the reference system:
    Dual P3 Tualatin system with 2 Tualatin 1.4 GHz [S] processors installed.
    1 GB of CL2 PC133 memory.

    Now:
    Using 1 GB of CL2.5(or 3) DDR (single channel).
    Using the same OS (and drives and everything else)
    Using a single CPU MoBo and a single core CPU.

    What is the minimum P4 CPU I need would need to get **THE SAME** performance as the dual Tualatin system.

    --
    I don't want benchmarking numbers thrown at me.
    ( They aren't 'real world'.)
    --
    I want this to come from actual experience.
    (The 'feel' of one relative to the other.)

    --
    I'm only considering P3-S, Northwood, or Prescott single cores because that's what I have a bunch of right now.

    Need recommended GHz, FSB, cache info for the P4 that 'feels' equivelent to the dual P3's.

    Have I repeated myself enough times yet???

    Thank you in advance!

    northwood will work the best. prescott blows. but really, 2 dual p3s will kill anything except for the most recent ones (athlon 64 or core/core 2 duo).

      I actually had a similar scenario not long ago......kind of ironic...

      I built a P4 2.4GHz 800FSB w/HT, 1GB ram. That was comperable in server speed and memory usage with my dual P3 1.4GHz tualatin-s system. P4's without HT are a waste of electricity, period.
